I tend to sympathize with this blogger, but it's a futile position -- asking kids to pay for
something they easily obtain at no cost. Would this blogger turn his back if 20 dollar bills started
raining down out of an office window, while everyone around him scrambles to collect "theirs"? I
doubt it, but if he did he'd be more noble and less cash-flush. Bottom line, human nature being what
it is, with regards to stealing music, the horse is long out of the barn.
